Animagus is not a simple transfiguration, and even Carl dare not practice it alone - of course, it is such a dangerous transfiguration that allows Professor McGonagall to temporarily leave the Order of the Phoenix and create opportunities for Carl's next actions.

"Then..." Looking at Carl with a confident look in front of him, Professor McGonagall could only nod, "First of all, you need to prepare a leaf of Mandelagra--"

"In my mouth, for a whole month, from one full moon to another - I'm ready." As he said, Carl opened his mouth and revealed the Mandela leaves under his tongue, "A full moon will be there in a week."

Carl did not lie about Animagus. He did read some content about this kind of deformation technique in the book, so while he made a compound decoction, he completed the first step early - to be honest, it felt really bad to hold a leaf in his mouth.

"So, do you remember the rest of the steps?" Professor McGonagall raised his eyebrows, with a little more testicle in his tone. "Tell me, Carl, what are you going to do next?"

"When the full moon is full, fill the leaves with a small crystal medicine bottle, soak the leaves in it, so that they can receive pure moonlight." Carl tried hard to recall what he saw in the book several years ago, and finally could only shake his head, "Then...sorry, I can only remember this - you took the book away."

"Seven days later, on the night of the full moon, you need to take out the leaf under the moonlight." Professor McGonagall resumed his teaching posture and his tone became excited involuntarily. "Add a piece of your hair and a silver teaspoon of dew to the small crystal medicine bottle shining on the moonlight - the dew must be collected from a place where there is no sunshine or human contact for the entire seven days."

"Oh, I'm afraid I need to ask Hagrid." Carl shrugged, "I'm afraid he is the only one who knows where there is no one in the Forbidden Forest."

"Smart choice." Professor McGonagall nodded with satisfaction. "Finally, you need to add a ghost-faced chrysanthemum to it and place this mixture in a quiet, dark place until the next thunder and lightning storm comes - don't watch it or disturb it again until then."

storm?

It's March now - although the Scottish Highlands are still cold, a storm is not out of reach.

"While waiting for the storm to come, you need to do the following actions every time you are sunrise and sunset: point the tip of the wand to the heart and chant the spell: Amado, Animo, Animado, Animagos." Professor McGonagall finally reached the point, "Note that this spell is the basic spell of Animagos, which requires quite complex and powerful magic control, and it is also the main content you need to study hard next - time is limited. If you can't learn this spell in seven days, you may have to hold the leaves for another month next."

Carl nodded.

"After dinner today, come to my office. Please don't try this spell until then, don't." Although Carl seemed obedient, Professor McGonagall emphasized again, "This spell is very dangerous, far more dangerous than any spell you have ever encountered before!"

………………………………………

After dinner that day, Carl received a separate tutoring from Professor McGonagall.

"Amado, Animo, Animo, Animo, Animo" is almost the longest spell that Carl has ever come into contact with. The long spell is combined with complex magic changes and necessary bloodline perception. Only after personal contact can Carl experience it personally why Animo is also called the ultimate transformation technique.

The most difficult thing about practicing Animagus is not this long and difficult spell. The most troublesome point is that before officially completing the previous steps and hiding the crystal bottle, the mantra caster cannot recite the complete spell, which will lead to the failure of the entire Animagus training and everything will be done over the beginning.

Carl, who has not mastered the complete training method of Animagus, actually took a big detour. In order to train Animagus, the correct way should be to "learn this spell first, and then start to hold the leaves of Mandela grass", so that he can not delay progress and cause conflicts - but Carl first took the leaves of Mandela grass. In order not to waste a month of hard work, he had to perform "half-piece practice", that is, he could only recite half of the spell every time he practiced the spell.

Fortunately, Carl is extremely talented in transfiguration, and Professor McGonagall is even more experienced. After a few days of teaching, Carl finally mastered this lengthy spell.

At this time, Hagrid also prepared dew for Carl: "I promise that it is the innermost part of the Forbidden Forest. Even the guys who take care of Nobeta in the Ministry of Magic cannot go there!"

During the teaching period, Professor McGonagall spent all his attention on Carl and finally did not leave Hogwarts after class - as Carl hoped, she was temporarily isolated from the Order of the Phoenix.

This isolation lasted for a full week.

On the second weekend, under the bright moonlight, Carl gently took out the Mandela grass and placed it in a crystal bottle that had long been full of saliva. He added his hair, the dew brought by Hagrid, and the pupa of a ghost-faced hawk moth. Professor McGonagall, beside him, kept paying attention to the color of the potion in the crystal bottle. After Carl sealed it, he finally nodded.

"It's done well, Carl." Professor McGonagall smiled with satisfaction, "I'll call Shanghai Ge, let's go to Forbidden Forest together to find you a quiet and dark place."

………………………………………

This was the first time Carl went into the Forbidden Forest so deeply. Although he would have run to the Forbidden Forest to train the spell to release the fox Meizi, he never came to the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

"The horseman's territory is ahead." It's rare that someone went deep into the Forbidden Forest with him at night, and Hagrid looked very excited. "They like prophecy, but unfortunately I don't understand what they said."

"Don't lean over there - the children in Aragork are not very easy to talk to."

"We are so lucky today. Have you seen those unicorns? Oh my God, they are so beautiful."

Unlike Professor McGonagall, Hagrid, who was holding teeth, was chattering all the way. Walking in the gloomy forbidden forest was like walking in the back garden. This made Carl couldn't help but think that the creature like giant is really at the top of the food chain...

Wait, if you remember correctly, Hagrid's mother is a giant and her father is a wizard, right?
